THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Maker Faire

DateTuesday, October 11, 2016 at 10:50AM

On Saturday we hit the NoCo Maker Faire. This was our fourth year in a row. 

 
Clockwise from the top left:

  • boys writing on a chalk painted car out front
  • Micah using a Sphero to paint a picture
  • at the always interesting pinball-type exhibit
  • Micah holding a bubble (he thought this was great fun and the girl put one on his head also, lol)
  • Micah and Nathan at the Fort Collins Creator Hub booth
  • boys playing some video game (sorry, I didn't pay attention to the booths in the dark room much, lol)

All in all, not quite as fun as years past. I'm not sure if it was because boys are getting older or because there wasn't much new from years past or because of the new space this year or what. Micah, at least, had fun talking to various booth attendants. :) Regardless, it was an enjoyable afternoon and we're still fans of encouraging this type of event. :)
